Hi again Audrey.

That's magic. I'd much rather not tamper about with the on-board card as I may give this computer to someone else if I upgrade later.

You said "you will need to insert a line into the INI > " Can you expand a bit on that as I don't understand what you mean: I'm assuming that the ini is some form of jaws boot up file?

You also said "need an extra small pair of speakers or separate headphones to hear jaws from another source. " I'm hoping to continue hearing jaws on my existing computer speakers but have an optical coming from my DVD recorder to the optical line-line in on the Soundblaster. So although I'll be hoping to switch the optical lin from in to out, in the main, it will be on the in position for most of the time, to in order me to record ad material from my dvd recorder to GoldWave on my computer.

However, if I need a second pair of speakers, I can pick a pair up tomorrow from PC World when I go for the Sound Blaster.

Any ;more advise would be very welcomed and thanks again for responding to my enquiry.

Best wishes.
Andy

HI Andy,

Yes, this should be possible, as you already have your onboard soundcard enabled. A lot of people, when they get another sound card installed by someone, get the old card disabled as the person installing it thinks they can't want 2 of them. I had the devil's own job explaining this to the last technician that installed soundcards on my PC. My advice at this stage, would be to make the new card the default card and the onboard card the backup. If you are using Jaws, you will need to insert a line into the INI file that tells jaws to go to the onboard card. You will also need an extra small pair of speakers or separate headphones to hear jaws from another source. Let me know if you need further help.

Audrey

Hi all.

I'm planning to travel into PC World in Glasgow tomorrow to purchase the creative Soundblaster live 24 bit external soundcard,

Can anyone confirm that with this card attached, I will be able to hold onto my existing on-board sound card for jaws, and use the new external card for listening to my music or ad movies, which I have on my computer. I use Winamp for all of my audio stuff.

Finally, if the above is possible, is setting this up achievable without sighted assistance.

Thanks.
Best wishes.
Andy
